After autumn and winter arrive, the temperature gradually drops, and it is exactly the period when the hundred flowers wither. At this time, greenery decreases, and in order to add a touch of green to the home, growing a few pots of flowers and plants is very necessary. But most flowers and plants wither in autumn and winter, so you need to choose plants that can still bloom beautifully in the low-temperature seasons of autumn and winter. So which plants are suitable for growing in autumn and winter? Follow the editor to learn about them.

1. Kalanchoe blossfeldiana

Kalanchoe blossfeldiana is a perennial succulent herb, so its cultivation method is very similar to that of succulents, and it is very easy to grow. During care, as long as you do not water it frequently, it can grow very well, and when it blooms, the flowers are clustered together and extremely beautiful. It also has low requirements for soil, and only needs soil with good air permeability. What needs attention when growing Kalanchoe blossfeldiana is watering. Be sure to wait until the potting soil is dry before watering. Too much watering will affect its growth, and in severe cases cause root rot and plant death.

2. Hyacinth

Hyacinth is one of the easiest mid-autumn flowers to grow, but its drawback is that its ability to rebloom is too poor, and it is basically a one-time flower. It can be grown in soil or in water. When beginners grow it, their control of watering is often poor, so water culture is recommended. For water-cultured hyacinth, first, the water level should not be too high; it is enough to touch the bulb, or keeping a little distance from the roots is also feasible. In any case, do not let the bulb soak in water, to avoid rot. After the roots grow out, you only need to ensure that most of the root system is in the water.

3. Begonia semperflorens

Begonia semperflorens, as its name suggests, can bloom all year round, and it blooms very readily, as if it has endless flowers, yet such a plant is very easy to grow. When growing it in autumn and winter, you only need to give it sufficient light, and it can grow and bloom well. Begonia semperflorens likes dryness and fears moisture, so watering should follow the principle of watering thoroughly after the soil dries out. In addition, it blooms frequently, so fertilizing must keep up. Basically, a fertilizer solution should be applied every 10-15 days.

4. Cyclamen

Cyclamen is also a very popular flowering potted plant in autumn and winter. Its flowering period lasts as long as 5 months, and it can bloom from autumn and winter all the way to around the Spring Festival. Its flower colors are diverse, and its flower shape is large and delicate. In autumn and winter, always pay attention to giving it appropriate scattered light and maintaining suitable light, and the growing environment should be well ventilated. It cannot remain in a sealed and dark environment for a long time, as this easily affects its growth. It is also necessary to keep the potting soil slightly moist, avoiding both drought and waterlogging in the soil. In addition, the growing environment should be kept at around 10—20 degrees; if it is too high or too low, manual intervention is needed.

5. Hippeastrum

Hippeastrum is also called red flower lily. Its flower colors are rich and varied. Its suitable growth temperature is around 18-25 degrees. When planting in autumn, you only need to keep the soil moist for it to grow well. If you are a beginner grower, it is recommended to first grow native Hippeastrum, because native varieties are more adaptable, and the bulbs are also cheaper.
